Understanding Money

Image
Why is financial literacy important? Money is not important; it is the value it has that makes it important. We give the money value by using it constantly. For example, when I go to the store to buy a bag and see a bag I like before I see that bag, other people have already seen the bag. If the bag was still there when I saw it in the store, it means that the people who saw it didn't have value for the bag, but now that I have seen the bag and liked it and am willing to buy it, I am giving the bag value. But before that, I must first decide things like whether I need it or want it, how long it will last, and whether I can afford to buy the product. Advantages and disadvantages of understanding and lack of understanding of money The advantages and disadvantages of understanding money are many and can be seen every day in our lives. For example, before going to college, I needed to pay and withdraw money from the bank multiple times. While doing that, I also needed to fill out my ta

Cause For Change: Governent.

People eating is not an issue. The issue is what they eat and how much they eat—in their case, fast food. The effect of eating a lot of fast food is obesity. There is an irony in this situation: “Before 1994, diabetes in children was generally caused by a genetic disorder; only about 5 percent of childhood cases were obesity-related, or Type 2 diabetes” (Zinczenko, 2002, p. 392). Now the question remains: if studies on obesity were done and the effects were known, why wasn’t it taken seriously, and why did the causes become the only option available? "Grew up as a typical mid-1980s latchkey kid. My parents were split up. Lunch and dinner were, for me, a daily choice between McDonald's, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Pizza Hut. Should the obesity epidemic be a government or personal responsibility? Then and now were the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal. By age 15, I had packed 212 pounds of torpid teenage tallow on my once lanky 5-foot

My Type: Pop Culture

Image
“Why must we be so serious about what divides us and instead trivialize what brings us together?" (TED,2013). This is the central question that would lead to the meaning of what pop culture truly is. But is this true? Yes, it is. It is a fact that is wholly accepted by the public, is funny, brings joy and entertainment, and has no restrictions on who or what could be happy while using resources that express what pop culture is. It is a wholly accepted fact that brings joy and entertainment and has no restriction regarding who or what could be happy while using resources that make them happy. If popular culture is considered good, why is it considered dead? In the past, it served as a mechanism. However, technology has changed how we do things. It is true because social media movements on various topics have become short and, as a result, have become a topic that washes over society and withdraws quickly, thereby leaving a massive social media legacy behind. But that begs the quest

The origin of my literacy

Image
A lot of people helped me during the early years of my literacy and writing journey. Among these people were my parents, friends, family relations, and teachers. The only way I figured to make the most of the situation was by making further notable improvements to my literary skills, although, if I was being honest, I didn’t think of it that way back then. Instead, I thought if I could learn more about languages, I could be able to read books written in a different language, and if I learned to write in the language, I might be able to write personal stuff that might not be easily deciphered by interested people, and when asked, I could say it in that sa me language if they don’t get it. That's not my problem; the feeling would be really exciting. This might sound weird to say out loud, but the books besides the people I met along the way inspired me. I was bored, not that I didn’t have anything better to do; I just did it on time and well enough not to require any further correcti
